Liked: Cleanliness
We had breakfast included in our rate but the server didn’t know whether that was just the buffet or the à la carte menu aswell. We were given two free drinks vouchers but the lady in the bar didn’t know what drinks were included. Not either of their fault - they should be given this information or we should have been told at check in. The milk was off at breakfast on our second day which makes you wonder how long the rest of the buffet had been sitting around. The room was clean and the location was good,

Normal size room that was adequate for a night or two. Nice bar on the property but the restaurant lacked any personality. Funny policy that demanded that you book the spa or sauna to use it.

The facility is somewhat dated. Our stay was nice and comfortable, but the HVAC was quirky and the plumbing is noisy. The parking is the and first come first serve. The laundry was useful to have and clean.

Could frequently hear noise of lift, people talking as they exited or entered lift and and as the room was facing the car park, heard conversations late at night from there too. This is the first time I have not been 100% satisfied with this hotel.
